Why Older button is not working?

Yesterday the older button was active...I couldn't believe my freaken eyes! But, it only went back one single page, back and forth, eeewwww what fun. Seems I had enough content generate in that single session that I could peruse one page back.

I'm 6 hours ahead of EST, so I miss a lot of tweets. The solution from 8 days ago doesn't seem to apply. And I LOVE bigboxcar's take on "getting closer" that really put a smile on, :)

Looks like mine disappeared the other day... Have no clue why though. Unless something like TweetDeck could've broken it, but I've never heard of that happening... It's pretty weak to only have one or two hours worth of updates readable anywhere. Tried the mobile page, the standard page, tried putting in ?page=2 after the url, doesn't show in tweetdeck... Seriously annoying.

1 Month has passed and this is still not fixed. I received this e-mail reply on August 15 from Twitter support in regards to the support ticket I personally sent them about the problem back on July 23:

Hi,

Thanks for the email. This is a bug. Going back further than 200 entries or 10 pages is currently not working for a number of users. All data is still there and we're working on a way to make it accessible again . Sorry about that, and thanks for your patience!

Cheers,

Mark

Just to clarify: I am not trying to go further than 200 entries or 10 pages! I’m talking about going to tweet number 21 on page 2 of my follower’s tweets! The Older Button is grayed out. Has been for a long long long time.

Perhaps Twitter support has lumped our problem into this one where folks can't see back 10 pages of tweets. Hell, I'd LOVE IT if I could go back just 2 pages.

Still <waiting>.......................................</waiting>

I dont have Tweetdeck so the problem is NOT Tweetdeck related. Currently I cannot go back ANY pages at all for older tweets let alone more than 10 pages.

Ok, good to know it's not related to a client... Yeah. still no Older button. lamesauce.

Hi all. According to @biz in another thread, Twitter is hoping to deploy a fix for the [Older] button problem that we have with our Recent and Archives pages today.

I just checked mine and I'm currently able to browse through 43 pages of my Archives, which takes me back to May 2008. Earlier this morning I was able to browse all the way back to page 160 (for a total of 3200 tweets dating back to Jan 2007). Perhaps they're still tweaking the fix.

I'm currently able to browse back to page 13 of my Recent timeline -- equivalent to roughly 3 hours worth of tweets for my account. Earlier this morning I could go all the way back to page 19 (which was around 2 hours worth of tweets -- most of the people I follow are asleep right now).

At least a couple of people I know are now able to access their older Favorites, which were previously not browsable.

Anyway, since the fix was deployed, some people have reported being able to go past page 10. If you happen to still be experiencing this problem after the fix, it might help to add a reply to say so in the other thread.

Hey, look at this... stuff works now! And TweetDeck fetched 174 tweets at launch this morning, instead of the normal 20! Thank you Twitter, awesome stuff!

Now... please just remove the nofollow from the bio links lmao...

Twitter has posted an update regarding fixes that were deployed for the [Older] links in our Recent and Archive timelines.

Thanks twitter- mine seems fixed now. Have had older button for two days straight.
